| Blix: Saddam won’t use chemical weapons |
| 2003-03-18 |
| Edited for brevity. Chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix said Tuesday he does not believe Iraq will use chemical or biological weapons during a war, even though it can produce warheads and deadly agents to fill them. The reason, he said, was world opinion would turn in favor of the United States if Saddam Hussein used weapons of mass destruction. And even on the brink of defeat, when using such weapons might be a last resort, Saddam's government would still care about public opinion, Blix said. "Some people care about their reputation even after death," he said. What planet is this idiot from? Saddam: "I would rather be thought of as a torturer, a murderous tyrant, and a chemical-weapon-using killer of Kurds and Shi'as, but not a chemical-weapon-using killer of Americans and Brits. I draw the line there!" During 3 1/2 months of inspections, Blix said, his teams found no evidence of chemical or biological weapons. Asked whether he believed Saddam would use such weapons, if he has them, Blix said: "I think they would be able if the weapons were there - and I'm not saying they are. And I'm not saying that they have means of delivery - but they could have it. ... But I doubt that they would have the will to do it." Do we need further proof this moron is brain dead? Can we pull the plug? |

| #4 "Some people care about their reputation even after death." A rather insightful comment. Seems like everyone connected with the UN has "their reputation" to preserve too, however poor it may be. Blixie's brain is a strange mass indeed. The frozen brain of Ted Williams would have done a better job of finding WMD than than this longtime UN hack. |
